Orange Conference every year, it has been way too long since I’ve been to a student ministry only focused conference. It was an amazing experience and it was so great to meet new people and learn from others.
Below are a series of blog posts of the sessions I went to as well as some blog posts from other bloggers from around NWYC. In addition, here are some quotes that I heard that really stood out to me over the course of the conference:
